I desperately need this fuckin facial hair gone. From my quick research you can buy machines for like 2-3k and a salon is probably going to be 3-4k for unlimited or like 150~/session? Obviously a big advantage of buying a machine is being able to use it on the rest of me too which I'd have a hard time spending money at a salon for. I have savings so spending the money upfront isn't an issue for me.

Big question is are the machines you can buy as effective as salons, where should I be looking at them?

Whats your skin tone and haircolour like?

I'm VERY pale and my hair is reddish, laser didn't work very well on a lot of my body, they work better with high contrast between skin and hair colour.

laser got some of my chest hair to go, but after like $700 of appointments over a year, you can barely tell I had any done (its been ~~five~~ seven years)

there was a while where I had really patchy facial hair and i felt worse for having it done

people I've spoken to who do more for their appearance than me, have told me the best way to deal with facial hair is to shave and wear make up

my tip is to try and accept yourself as you are, but that's easier said than done (i have continued to publicly live as a man because it's a lot easier, and actually people have no trouble accepting a boy named Sue, so to speak)

I know plenty of cis women who shave their faces, there was actually a story in a "news" site a few months back about a woman who shaved her face to better apply make up (the tabloids were losing their minds)

anyway sorru i'm rambling, love yourself bb

that other much longer comment advising you to not get a diy machine is good too advice imo

I'm white and have black body hair.

Shaving makes me want to kms, I hate it. Shit is a pain and a continuous reminder of what went wrong for me.

I know plenty of cis women who shave their faces

This always sounds like cope to me, I don't believe plenty of cis women have facial hair like mine. Maybe some peach fuzz, I've seen that a bit. But not, damn-near-beard amounts of hair.

While there are cis women with a lot of facial hair (way more than peach fuzz, mostly women with PCOS and other hormonal disorders) they tend to be pretty unhappy about it for the same basic reason we are.
